My beautiful CEO wife -
Chapter 201: Disdain for the Lower-Class!
Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Disdain for the Lower-Class!
Xiao Zheng heard Wang Renze saying this, but he just smiled secretly.
Wang Renze seemed to be offering his help to Xiao Zheng, when in reality, the subtext was that Xiao Zheng simply wasn’t fit for such an occasion and his presence was merely inviting humiliation.
Mo Anna obviously caught on as well, her brows furrowing slightly, a bit displeased, yet Wang Renze’s words were watertight, leaving her no place to retort there.
After finishing his statement, Wang Renze then said with a laugh, "Come, Anna, as you have just arrived, you must be quite unfamiliar with this place. Allow me to be your guide."
With these words, he led Mo Anna and Xiao Zheng to a corner of the large hall and began introducing her to some social elites.
Within this hall, the hierarchy of individuals was distinctively divided into several levels, with the highest naturally being the likes of the Zhonghai City Mayor and the head of Barry Group.
A rung below were the bosses of various major companies.
They all formed their own social circles according to their social standing, clearly demarcated with no trace of overstepping.
And the circle where Wang Renze and his peers congregated mostly consisted of wealthy young heirs with impressive backgrounds. These people’s eyes lit up upon seeing Mo Anna and became quite enthusiastic in their approach to her.
However, this group rallied behind Wang Renze as their leader. Seeing Wang Renze’s warm demeanor towards Mo Anna, they all started to sing his praises, attempting to make her think well of him.
Mo Anna remained politely indifferent to all this.
Seeing this, Wang Renze felt a prick of annoyance, although he didn’t show it. He smiled and said to Mo Anna, "Our appraisal event this time indeed has many exquisite items. Let me show you around."
Mo Anna gave a polite yet distant smile, "Then I must thank Mr. Wang."
With a smile, Wang Renze then led Mo Anna to a series of display counters which housed all kinds of precious treasures, such as blue-and-white porcelain and ancient good books, among others.
Mo Anna, floating gracefully, browsed these items, her arm entwined with Xiao Zheng’s, and pointed at a piece of blue-and-white porcelain with an affectionate manner, "Look, Xiao Zheng, this piece of blue-and-white porcelain seems to be the one that appeared on a big variety show on television before, worth tens of millions."
"Hmm,"
Xiao Zheng glanced at it and smiled, "It’s that one."
His expression, however, was quite casual.
It was as though he was looking at something very ordinary.
Xiao Zheng didn’t know much about the blue-and-white porcelain, but he still knew a fair amount of basic knowledge because there was a person within Sky Net,
also a Chinese, who was very passionate about collecting Chinese treasures that had been taken abroad. He had seen a similar style of blue-and-white porcelain, but the one in the possession of that person in Sky Net was far more precious, in terms of size and patterns, much more exquisite than this one.
Wang Renze, witnessing this scene, felt a tad annoyed, his face darkening slightly.
Mo Anna and Xiao Zheng were being too affectionate.
Several of Wang Renze’s well-dressed friends, who were skilled at reading people, exchanged glances at this moment, instantly knowing what to do.
At once, a young man in a very fashionable red suit said to Xiao Zheng with a smile, "Brother Xiao Zheng seems to have more to say about this blue-and-white porcelain."
Xiao Zheng smiled faintly, "Not at all."
"Xiao Zheng, brother, then don’t refuse," the man in the red suit persisted relentlessly. "I could clearly see that when you just saw the blue and white porcelain, your eyes flickered with a very profound look."
The man in the red suit was still not relenting.
Mo Anna, hearing him say this, knew the man was definitely trying to make things difficult for Xiao Zheng. Her voice was slightly cold as she said, "Young Master Xie, don’t make things difficult for him. It’s just a piece of blue and white porcelain, what’s there to talk about?"
The man in the red suit’s face stiffened slightly, not expecting Mo Anna to defend Xiao Zheng like this. With an embarrassed laugh, he said, "Hahaha, since Miss Mo puts it that way, I won’t inquire further."
After saying this, he still gave Xiao Zheng a mocking glare.
That look seemed to say, "Hiding behind a woman, what a lack of spine you have."
Xiao Zheng naturally didn’t care about these things and just responded with a faint smile.
Wang Renze, seeing this, was even more annoyed, feeling an itch in his teeth. He just found Xiao Zheng extremely eyesore and had already begun to think about how to make Xiao Zheng look foolish.
However, after thinking it over, he had yet to come up with a good plan. He harbored a secret hatred for Xiao Zheng, but his face showed a very enthusiastic expression.
It must be said, Wang Renze was truly worthy of being a person who could control a huge group at such an age. This ability to control one’s emotions was indeed first-rate.
For now, he slowly walked along the exhibition counters, appreciating the display while subtly signaling to the gentlemen around him.
Someone immediately understood Wang Renze’s intention and said to Xiao Zheng with a smile, "Speaking of which, we all know that Miss Mo is the manager of Qianqiu Group,
but brother Xiao Zheng, who are you? Meeting you at this banquet must be fate, and I would like to know more about you."
Xiao Zheng replied with a faint smile, "I’m just a nobody who came along with Sister Mo to broaden my horizons."
Mo Anna chuckled to herself upon hearing this.
If Xiao Zheng is a nobody, then who counts as somebody important?
Mo Anna had witnessed Xiao Zheng’s formidable capabilities several times before. At least from her perspective, Xiao Zheng was definitely no less than the likes of Wang Renze.
This was one of the reasons Mo Anna decided to bring Xiao Zheng along. Given his real identity, he was more than capable of facing these people without being negatively affected.
If Xiao Zheng were really just a nobody, then Mo Anna wouldn’t have brought him. She had a good impression of Xiao Zheng and certainly wouldn’t want him to get hurt. If Xiao Zheng’s status wasn’t high and he came to such a place, he would undoubtedly be suppressed by these young masters, which was not what Mo Anna wanted to see.
After all, this was Zhonghai City’s upper class, the elite.
Nevertheless, although Mo Anna was aware of this, Wang Renze and the others didn’t. Hearing Xiao Zheng describe himself, they all started to laugh.
"So, he’s just a little lackey."
They all thought to themselves with sneers.
Wang Renze also laughed upon hearing this, suddenly becoming amiable toward Xiao Zheng.
In his view, Xiao Zheng was not a threat. Being kind to someone from the lower ranks showed one’s magnanimity and won the favor of others, why not do it?
After all, he was not a frivolous spendthrift, but a true elite, and his actions were naturally much more mature. However, there was also a sense of condescension hidden within this polite benevolence.
